I am a Youth Caseworker supporting young asylum seekers and refugees. Unaccompanied children and young people have endured traumatic experiences, have been forcibly separated from their families and are extremely vulnerable. Our support helps them to overcome difficult barriers and to start a new, safe, life in the UK.

I have been working with migrant children and young people for the past 6 years, in Italy, France and the UK, supporting them in accessing education, legal advice, health care, mental health services and youth activities.
